Chocolate orange muffins!

Yummy raw mixture...

A slightly different post from me today... all about baking! When I was snowed in on Friday I decided to do some baking and free-styled this recipe! I used a basic cup cake recipe and then adapted it to be chocolate orange because I felt like it ;)

You will need:

x 175g of Self-raising flour, sifted

x 175g Caster sugar, sifted

x 175g Margarine, softened

x 1.5 tsp of baking powder

x 3 big eggs

x 2 tsp of vanilla extract

x Zest of one orange

x 4 tbsp of cocoa powder - add more if you like it more chocolately!

x 1 pack of chocolate chips - I recommend white!

x 1 Baking tray

x 12 Cupcake cases

- Pre heat the over to 180 degrees

- Sift the flour and sugar into a large mixing bowl and add in the butter

- Mix it all together and then add the rest of the ingredients

- Stir it until your arms hurt

- Put the cupcake cases in the baking tray and spoon the mixture evenly into each one

- Put them in the oven for around 15 minutes - until they look like the top picture! :)
